Finds the Stations You Need to Work

Its comprehensive, dual interface DX Spot Checker™ — your choice of Rich Site Feed or Grid Feed — displays incoming spots and indicates whether you need to contact stations for a new or verified:

  • DXCC entity
  • Band entity
  • Mode entity
  • VUCC grid

And it can alert you when a station you designate is spotted in the Rich Site Feed or Grid Feed of the DX Spot Checker. Just type or paste the desired call sign in the Alert box.

When the alert call sign is spotted, a selected WAV audio file plays and the call sign, frequency, and time of the latest spot appears in the adjacent text box. As usual, the spot also appears in the Rich Site Feed or Grid Feed display.

Integration with optional Afreet Band Master also helps you find stations to work via its unique graphical interface.

Acquires Solar Indices Information

The software acquires and displays Solar Indices on the Station Log and DX Spot Checker menu bars automatically every thirty minutes ...

... and populates the editable SFI, Ap, and Kp boxes on the Station Log window for saving with log entries. (Internet connection required.)

You can run Performance, Stations, and Bands reports against the solar data.

The Historic Solar Indices Update facility lets you update log entries with solar data valid at the time of the QSOs (provided the QSOs took place on or after January 1, 1997 and the information is available from NOAA). Running an historic update is useful after performing an ADIF Import. It is also useful if you were out in the wild, off the grid when logging.

Displays Propagation Predictions

Integration with optional Afreet Ham CAP provides the ability to run short- and long-path propagation predictions from the DX Spot Checker, Station Log window, and Entities module.

Processes JT Log Entries

As you know, WSJT-X and JTDX display worked-before indications natively, letting you keep your eyes glued to their interfaces while operating ... which is important when using quick modes like FT4, FT8, and MSK144.

DXtreme Station Log supports WSJT-X and JTDX native worked-before notifications by supplying data from your Station Log database and providing convenient Station Log-centric logging activities.

With the growing popularity of JS8, an extension of FT8 and an official ADIF mode, DXtreme Station Log supports logging from the JS8Call application.
